Dtgivens Posted August 6, 2017 at 02:59 PM Share Posted August 6, 2017 at 02:59 PM Why do we need both cards now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cola490 Posted August 6, 2017 at 04:58 PM Share Posted August 6, 2017 at 04:58 PM Why do we need both cards now?One reason might be since the CCL expires in 5 years and the FOID in 10 years, if you decide to not carry, you can still own and purchase firearms and ammo.

splash Posted August 6, 2017 at 06:09 PM Share Posted August 6, 2017 at 06:09 PM Why do we need both cards now?I prefer showing my FOID card rather than my CCL when buying ammo. I don't want to give the counter guy the impression that I'm carrying and don't want to have a conversation about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to give the counter guy the impression that I'm carrying and don't want to have a conversation about it.This, although iirc there was a directive to do a study looking into combining the cards. Not sure if that report ever came out as I dont recall reading anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeterlancer Posted August 8, 2017 at 03:49 AM Share Posted August 8, 2017 at 03:49 AM April 30 - Applied (no prints)June 14 - Emailed ISP about photo and training documentJune 15 - Received reply, status went to QC_VerifiedJune 16 - Status went to QC_ApprovedAug 7 - Active Just waiting for it to be mailed and for it to arrive. Cook County. Seems to take almost exactly 120 days from date of application to receiving the card in hand. My question is why it took almost two months to go from Approved to Active. I wonder if they just let applications sit there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it up to 2 weeks (and the ISP might say 4), but I think the avg is around 10 days. Your card has to be printed, batched, and sent to PO for delivery. That process does not necessarily begin to happen on the day you go active. Edited August 15, 2017 at 11:21 PM by InterestedBystander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
